The purpose of this study was to understand the structural relationships of the kindergarten teachers' role performance with the teaching efficacy and job stress. To achieve the research goal, this study conducted a survey targeting a total of 300 teachers, vice principals and principals working for infant educational institutes located in Gyeonggi-do, and analyzed 253 copies of the survey in total. The study used a structural equation to design a structural equation-based model to look into the structural relationships related to the role performance with the teaching efficacy and job stress. The collected data was then analyzed by AMOS 18.0 to estimate the correspondence and the parameter of the model. According to the results of the analysis, the role performance of kindergarten teachers was observed to have an immediate influence on the teaching efficacy. The role performance of kindergarten teachers was directly connected to job stress. The job stress had an indirect relationship with the role performance of kindergarten teachers through the teaching efficacy. The teaching efficacy of the kindergarten teachers was confirmed to have immediate association with the job stress of infant teachers.

현대 사회가 급변하면서 가족 구조와 형태가 다양해지고, 여성의 경제 활동과 맞벌이 부부가 증가함에 따라 영유아 대상 돌봄에 대한 요구는 다양하게 변화하고 있다. 그러나 보육기관 증설 및 운영 시간 연장 등으로 보육의 공공성을 강화해 나가는 것에 반해, 유아 교육기관의 질과 영유아 상호작용에 큰 영향을 미치는 유치원 교사의 근무 여건 개선은 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 유치원 교사는 영유아의 성장과 발달에 결정적이고, 무조건적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 교육의 질을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있다. 그럼에도 긴 근무 시간, 저임금, 학부모의 지나친 요구, 부진한 복지제도 등의 열악한 근무환경에서 직무스트레스와 그에 따른 심리적 소진을 경험하고 있다 본 연구에서는 유치원 교사가 지각하는 직무스트레스와 심리적 소진의 관계에서 자기자비와 마음챙김의 조절 효과를 규명하여 유치원 교사들이 흔히 겪을 수 있는 일반적인 어려움을 예상해보고 그 요인을 찾아 분석함으로서 유치원 교사의 스트레스를 예방하거나 감소시키기 위한 지원 방안 및 유치원 교사를 위한 교육프로그램 개발의 기초 자료로 활용되는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 경기도 내 유치원에 근무하는 교사 200명을 대상으로 직무스트레스척도(MTOSFQ), 심치적 소진척도(MBI), 자기자비척도(K-SCS), 마음챙김척도(FFMQ)를 사용하여 설문을 실시한 후 SPSS v22, 독립표본 t검정, 일원배치 분산분석, 선형회귀분석과 매개효과 검증을 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-leadership of teachers who conduct free-selection activities in kindergartens. In addition, we analyze the mediating effect of teacher self-efficacy. This study was conducted using data gathered through a survey conducted on 325 kindergarten teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do areas from September 17 to 28, 2018. To analyze the data, the author used SPSS Statistics 22.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs to conduct reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling. The result of the verification of the hypothesis showed that self-leadership of kindergarten teachers who engaged in free-selection activities positively influenced self-efficacy. Self-leadership of teachers who employed free-selection activities had a positive effect on the expertise of teachers as well. Also, self-efficacy of kindergarten teachers positively affected expertise of these teachers. In addition, the self-leadership of kindergarten teachers mediated self-efficacy, so that the indirect effect on teacher expertise was statistically significant. Also, the direct effect of self-leadership on expertise of teachers was significant, which showed that the self-efficacy of the kindergarten teachers indirectly mediated the relationship between self-leadership and expertise of the teachers. This study showed that to enhance expertise of kindergarten teachers, this requires enhancing self-leadership of teachers. Also, in order to enhance the level of self-efficacy of teachers, necessary knowledge and skills that can enhance self-efficacy of these teachers in their working environment should be provided. In addition, someone who can play the role of active facilitator or helper is needed in order to enhance expertise of these teachers.

This study examines how kindergarten teachers' empathy and efficacy in enlisting parental involvement predict perceived parent-teacher relationships and teacher burnout. It also investigates whether teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement moderates the relationship between kindergarten teachers' empathy, perceived parent-teacher relationships, and teacher burnout. A total of 208 public and private kindergarten teachers employed in the Chungbuk area participated in a survey, and the data were analyzed using JAMOVI (version 1.6.23). There were three major findings. First, both kindergarten teachers' empathy and efficacy in enlisting parental involvement positively predicted perceived parent-teacher relationships. Second, there was a significant interaction effect between teacher empathy and teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement on perceived parent-teacher relationships. Specifically, when teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement was high (M+1SD), teacher empathy significantly positively predicted parent-teacher relationships. By contrast, when teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement was average or low (M-1SD), the effect of teacher empathy on the perceived parent-teacher relationships was not significant. Third, both kindergarten teachers' empathy and teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement negatively predicted teacher burnout, but there was no significant interaction effect between teacher empathy and teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement on teacher burnout. This study identified the role of teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement within the context of kindergarten teacher-parent relationships and teacher burnout. It confirmed that the effect of teacher empathy on parent-teacher relationships is moderated by the level of teacher efficacy in enlisting parental involvement.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the distributed leadership upon kindergarten teachers' commitment of teachers. As a result of the analysis, first, the teachers' recognition on the distributed leadership at a kindergarten was confirmed to have a significant difference depending on the teaching career and the academic background. And the commitment of teachers perceived by the kindergarten teachers was identified to have a statistically significant difference according to the teaching career, academic background, and scale. Second, the kindergarten situation and the teacher leadership among sub-factors of the distributed leadership were indicated to have a positive effect on the commitment of teachers. Especially, the teacher leadership was confirmed to have a positive impact on the whole of professional consciousness, educational love, and passion, which are sub-factors in the commitment of teachers. What the distributed leadership has a positive influence upon the commitment of teachers at a kindergarten can be known to be ultimately the time when a teacher oneself fully recognizes responsibility, influence, and authority with thinking that a teacher oneself is a leader, rather than a director's leadership. Accordingly, a director's many responsibilities and authorities need to be properly entrusted so that the kindergarten teachers can display much more leadership.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of job satisfaction, self-encouragement, and subjective well-being of public kindergarten teachers. To achieve this, a questionnaire was given to 121 teachers in public kindergartens, and the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and independent-sample t-tests. The main results of this study are as follows: First, job satisfaction, self-encouragement, and subjective well-being of the teachers were above medium level, while negative affect was lower. Second, public kindergarten teachers with higher job satisfaction showed significantly higher subjective well-being than those with lower job satisfaction. Third, teachers with higher levels of self-encouragement showed significantly higher subjective well-being than those with lower job satisfaction. Fourth, in the case of teachers with higher job satisfaction, those with higher levels of self-encouragement showed significantly higher subjective well-being than those with lower levels. The results suggest that the subjective well-being of the teachers depends on the level of their job satisfaction and self-encouragement, and that even if they do have low job satisfaction, high self-encouragement could have a positive effect for them. The results of this study are discussed, and suggestions provided for further research.
